Happening of a Death

Happening of a Death

 

He is dying to leave from his pains

His eyes left him alone in the deep dark

His mouth dead and kept closed

His ears denied to receive the sounds nearby

His senses went to its place

His last spell of breath was going on

Flies have taken their seat on his face and

He was still alive by his breath

His thoughts were running to stop at a point

He was dead yes he was dead there

He came out from his roof as air

He is seeing his body as a stranger and

Mingled with this universe as air

Sakthi S Ravichandran

this is tremendous

what a lyrical and profound peice of the final evolution of existance the placement of words like a farewell song chanted as one who is terrified of death and fascinated I am bound to this work haunted by its pedantic delivery to the very last breath

A death

You have portrayed this last moment so well, I would love to read the after death part, as this one carries on his jouirney, to once again return to his rightful place, or to the place you believe in. Please let me know if you do write more on this theme, as I said on a reply to you, your thoughts are unique and I myself, and now I guess Orgami would be very interested in that place that holds no fear to me, I will wfrite one on our perception also to see if there are many differences, Yours Ian.T
